Love Scars: Bad Boy's Bride

Oh my goodness what a bad man! David Strelkov has a major blood enemy - the Rossini's. The two crime families have been killing each other for over 50 years but he has the perfect vengeance - the Rossini daughter Annaliza belongs to him- his wife- in return for not killing her father...

So Anna is delivered to the huge Russian with the explosive temper, hard muscled body covered in ink, and a few other surprises for the once timid virginal Anna. David tells her straight up that he means to get her pregnant immediately and keep her forever, but her devious backstabbing father has other ideas- he wants Anna dead..

Some of the hottest scenes ever- rough, violent, to the point! Wow!

I received this ARC from the author in return for an honest review!

Anna’s father’s business affairs have gone awry and she’s become part of the plan to stabilize things, but she’s given virtually no information about anything and dropped off at a ramshackle house by her father’s men, only to be picked up by a man named David, who claims to be her husband and has the documentation to prove it. It appears she’s been used as a bargaining chip, so the only thing left to do is choose a side, her father or David? David is a mob boss, bad boy—coarse, forceful, and driven—determined to have Anna for his own, and failure is not a concept he is familiar with. His determination and confidence in achieving his goal of having Anna as his own was bewitching. He could be harsh and savage, and he wasn’t particularly compassionate, especially in the beginning, but despite his rough facade, I always felt his heart was in the right place. The dialogue got a little cheesy at times, but it was a good short read.

Holy smoking hot!!! Anna is blinded by her father. Then she is suddenly taken by this hulk of a man named David. David informs her he is now her husband that he and her father have paid good money to have the courts take care of. Anna tries to get away from David and falls into the hands of her fathers men and then things turn ugly. All David wants to do is take Anna and love her and make a family with her. But he doesn't want her father in the way of that. Anna' father will do anything to stop it. Anna finds herself in the middle and doesn't know which was is up or down with them both pulling on her. She has to make the choice. Will it be one she will regret?
What a great book and I loved every single, sizzling moment of it. I could not put it down.

Where to begin....you have two savage, old world family feuds come to a head; the Italians and the Russians. That's where it begins.....Anna's dad killed two of the Russian bossmen, and instead of taking his punishment, he sells out his daughter to David, the head of the Russian mafia. Not only that, but they're married...as in legal. Now, let's paint a picture...ah, David...hot alpha male, tatted up, muscles galore and with a smart mouth and confidence in spades. Yup..the things that boy says to poor virginal Anna. Now...the fun begins...to say their relationship is rocky would be an understatement....there's blood, sex, betrayal, more sex, love, and a bunch of hot words. Gotta love it!! With a dual POV....We are in this bad boy deep...hmmm!!!

This was definitely not what I was expecting when I first started reading this book. That is not a bad thing, I was just surprised. This is a modern day version of the Hatfield/McCoy or Romeo/Juliet concept. David comes across as a hard as nails super Alpha bad guy out for revenge and Anna is portrayed as the sheltered innocent pawn. The struggle between the characters is very entertaining and along the way they both find out they want more from their relationship then revenge and acceptance. This storyline is filled with conflict, violence, deception, betrayal and some very Hot Hot steamy sexual encounters. Once again Ms. Snow provides her readers with a riveting, fast paced story that keeps you engaged until the very last page.

I've not read anything by this author before, and reading this this was like a shock to the system. This is one of those stories that's way way OTT, but addictive reading. David is the most foul mouthed possessive male lead I've read for a long time, bad boy doesn't quite cover it. The heroine Anna is the daughter of a mob boss, David is the enemy. When David makes a deal with Anna's father with her being the prize all hell breaks loose. There's plenty of hot sex scenes as well. I think this is one of those stories that you'll either love or hate. I couldn't put it down.

What a pair, Anna and David! The sex is unbelievably great from their first virginal encounter. But then maybe it is believable, once you accept the dsscriptions of David, a physical and emotional powerhouse of a man. A huge personality and presence. Anna and David's all-consumjng sexual and emotional life is front and center all throughout the book. And is it hot! Beyond hot, the erotic scenes are so well-written, with plenty of dirty/intimate talk, that the whole book is a delight to read. And there are none of those boring irrelevant side issues that kill the momentum of the story. There is one focused theme that propels you through to the last sentence on the last page. 5 stars.

Wow, lost for words, but it was freaking awesome. All I can say is if you dont like commanding alpha male that uses swear words in almost every sentences and do what he wants to do no matter what it is, be warned this is what you will see, David is of old Russian bloodline and he is the last one in the states and he will take what he wants to see the end of war. Anna is of old Italian bloodlines and she is thrown into an arrangement by her father that wants things his way. David and her father are at war since their families been fighting for generations and David has a plan to wipe out his enemies, thats where Anna is thrown into.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! David is such an alpha male, "well, babe? You gonna give me an answer or you just want to to with me all effing night?" He rolled forward, pushing his legs against my a**." But he may come across rough but he has a real sweet side when it comes to his lady, "he swept forward, reached out, and yanked me into his grasp. I exploded, burying my face into his collar, blubbering like a baby. "Calm your sweet a** down, babe. It's gonna be alright." He leaned in and kissed my forehead, which only made me cry harder. "Eff. Normally, I'd tan your hide raw for running off...." He is not bashful when it comes to his endowments, "don't worry, girl. Most men aren't hung like this. Not that you'll ever get another chance to find out. This c***'s the only c*** that'll ever be in you, understand? And that s*** you've heard about good things in small packages? Forget it. This effer's the best there is because it's so damn huge." He seriously is blunt ".....beautiful a** and we effed past midnight. Anything else you need to know?" I really loved this book and can't wait for more with this series.

Never saw this coming. This was a very well thought out storyline. At first I wasn't sure which way the story w s s going then I hoped that the bad guy really wasn't the bad guy, just the way he acted when he got possession of the girl seem like there was more to the background then what was going on. Then when they see the light of day differently to different people , to different mind sets yet they came together over love. He saved the girl he saves his life with her an brings what matters in the end family back. Love Nicoles books always different backgrounds yet a great read..

I received a review copy of this book from Nicole Snow and she did it once again. She never disappoints. Love Scars is a dark and gritty love story based on a young mob boss and a rival mob bosses daughter. Anna's lost and confused after her father sends her away and she finds her self in a rundown house that is surrounded by dangerous men. David would like nothing more then to use Anna for nothing more then his pleasure and rub it in his biggest rival face, but his heart wont allow it.

This dangerous mob bosses finds him willing to do anything to protect Anna even when she has no clue what life she wants or who she is.

This is the perfect book to curl up with and just lose your self in it.

This was such an odd read. The story was probably a 4 at least, but the execution and timeline dipped to a 2. Everything happens at warp speed, it's insta-love to the nth degree. I honestly believe if the author had written a full length novel that developed the characters, plot and subplots, and romance, it would be wonderful. But the ridiculous pace obliterated my ability to suspend my disbelief, and I was left feeling like I had read an abridged version and missed the story.

Loved this book!

Not sure when I started reading if I'd like Anna but as the story progressed she turned out to be a strong woman and a perfect match for David.

David is definitely a strong alpha man and leader of one of the Russian mobs. Anna is the only daughter of the rival mob and becomes David's wife. Things spiral out of control with Anna's father and I was taken on a roller coaster of adventure and emotion with David and Anna.

There is so much I want to say about this great book but not wanting to give anything away I will just say that you need to read this book!!

Congratulations Nicole on a great book!!

WOW!!!!! This was not what I was expecting when I received an ARC of this book for an honest review..........Nicole you have once again DONE IT in all your SNOW fashion!. This was an INCREDIBLE Fantastic Read!!!!! I was so pleasantly surprised that I was not only hooked from the Very first word through the very last; it was such an emotional coaster ride that it literally held you in its grasp from beginning to end. Like I continue to say you are a PHENOMENAL author and I thank you PROFUSELY for allowing me to read your AMAZING work. Thank you!!!

WOW! This is the hottest, crudest, most erotic book I've read this year! Whew, words can't explain how hot this book was. I absolutely loved the story line and the characters were great. David is such a bad ass, but he quickly fell for Anna even though the arrangements were initially for revenge. The story was very good and I loved the dual POV. The sex scenes were so hot, raw and graphic I felt like he was trying to get me pregnant!!! I downloaded this through Kindle Unlimited.

I received an Advanced Review Copy in exchange for an honest review. I have a new favorite book boyfriend after reading this one. David is large and in charge, he took what he wanted and owned it. A little bit of an unorthodox way to fall in love and quickly at that but I still wished it was me being steamily manhandled. My only complaint for this title was that it was too short. It only took me a couple hours to read and I definitely could have kept reading about this alpha.

I love Nicole Snow books, however, this one felt rushed. **SPOILERS** One minute Anna is a virgin, she's kidnapped and falls in love with her kidnapper who turns out to be her husband all in, what ??, a day?? Couple of days?? I'm still giving it 4 stars because for the most part, it was an enjoyable read. I would have liked to read more backstory on David and Anna's past especially between the families.

Loved the story and the guys filthy mouth (except some words). The sex scenes were smoking hot.

Hated the use of the c**t word and the guys calling women sluts and whores for doing things that they were doing. Also, how did they fall in love in two days. I can suspend reality along with the best of them but that really made no sense.

Wow. This novellla really packed a punch. You have a hero that starts out an anti-hero..now I love the Alpha male, but not a mean Alpha and in the beginning David walked close to the end of my comfort zone. However it became evident quite quickly how much he was growing to care and love Anna. Dark, edgy, yet hot and spicy - you can't go wrong on this one.

4.5 stars
Good book. A Russian, dirty talking, bad boy and his sweet innocent lamb that he corrupts....sigh....so good. Minor mistakes in book but didn't take any thing away from story. Not the first I've read from Ms. Snow and it won't be the last.

Received an ARC copy for a honest review. Wow! Awesome read! I was easily swept into this book starting with the sexy cover. Storyline was intriguing, suspenseful and utter hotness with steamy scenes. David is an OMG alpha bad boy with a dirty mouth and his way or no way attitude. Loved the chemistry between him and Anna. Would recommend.

Mindblowing!!

I received this as an ARC. I loved the story and couldn’t put it down. The author enthralled me with an exceptional and graphic storyline. The sensual and raw eroticism was mindblowing. Eventually family feuds turned into a happy ending.

This story is intensely sexy, bold and raunchy from beginning to end with only the tiniest moments to fan ourselves. The pov of the characters are by no means conventional but you'll never hear me complain. The pace is fast without sacrficing imagination in the violently charged plot. I would read it again.

Gritty. Yep, it was a dark romance, meaning, it had lots of sex & violence. Not for everyone, but if read preview before buying, then you would already know this. Good read although not one of my favs from this author.

Received this arc copy of this book for and honest review.

OMGOSH Ya this book is awesome I honestly thought I wasn't going to like because of how it started off but hot Damn it changed lol it was great I can't wait for another installment . Nicole snow is an amazing writer I love her books! If you haven't read thus book yet do it !

Wow! This book is HOT!!! David is gritty and gruff and makes no excuses for his behavior. But for all his rough outside, he has a loving heart. I fell in love with him just like Anna did. If you aren't easily offended then read this.

The description of this book caught my attention and I knew I had to read it.
I loved David and Anna together and the sex was HOT! Wow!
I found I couldn't put the book down until I was done. If you like a total alpha male, and lots of hot, sweaty sex, this book is for you!

Prepare to wipe the steam from your glasses! The super hot seduction starts almost on page 1 and continues throughout. What starts as a dad selling out his daughter leads to a hot romance full of muder and revenge. A must read!

This was a steamy adventure of a read. Basically this is the story of an innocent woman caught between two warring mob families. Both have done some atrocious things so she has to find her way. Does she choose love or loyalty? Read it and see.

I loved this story! This story included drama and a whole bunch of hot sex which is the best part! We learned about both David and Anna's past throughout the whole book. From that we saw how things came together and they would grow!

Very sweet. Big bad mafia guy marries his enemy's daughter sight unseen, but falls for her instantly. The heroine does her best to hang on and make sense of things before falling just as hard. HEA guaranteed.

The instant love was the only thing that bothered me because it was abrupt. Other than that the story was great for being so short. I loved D. Dirty mouth and all. The story line was exciting and the story was well written.

I absolutely loved this and loved David , oh and sweet Jesus his dirty talk lord have mercy! He was a total alpha. My new book boyfriend ! I would defiantly say read this one. I was given a copy for my honest opinion ! So get it NOW!!!!

This book was nonstop from beginning to end. Thank God it was a shorter read otherwise I would have been up all night trying to finish it! It's not your typical love story but it's filled with plenty of angst, romance & may even have a HEA.

Seriously could not get past that super weird beginning. Until the end he seems like a really bad guy, no heart of gold. When does he decide to just love her? Weird Stockholm syndrome or so it seems until the end. It just wasn't for me. Not sure how I got through it. Going to give her other stuff a try... Maybe it won't be so weird.
